Just recently, whenever I reboot, Windows Explorer opens on start-up, and
shows the content of the system32 directory.

It is not in my start-up folder, and I cannot see anything in MSConfig to
make it do this. Does it indicate an infection of some kind on the PC? Norton
does not find any problems.

I have XP Home with SP2.

Can anyone tell me how I can stop it doing this?

Many thanks!
